I have 5 or 6 rigs with 20 moa bases and 40 moa in the rings and can zero all of them at 100.....don't sweat it.

Buy flashers for your gongs. We have 12" gongs out and its really hard to see the 18 and 22 reacting without the flashers. The 1800 flash can be seen with your naked eye.

The flashers help a ton and some of the new ones actually work properly.

We were seeing flashes from impacts with little .224 bullets at the 1,000 yard gong.

100yd zero is a must I feel. If you can’t get there just input an offset in your solver. But you’re going to want a zero that is not affected by environmentals

You still zero at 100, but with a vertical offset , bear in mind this is a dedicated scope for long range, he can swap in and out with the usual scope at will.

Yep, flashers or a drone are important, I have been using much smaller guns lately, slamming the mile with my 243 but the drop is wild, and I pretty much am there with the 223 when it is calm but elevation is brutal

1,000-2,000 yard shooting. I would wager that the further east one goes in the US, the higher the degree of difficulty when it comes to finding those length of ranges to shoot. Not so many “ wide open spaces “ on the East Coast!

My 6XC has best the crap out of our gongs too. I am having good luck with the 106's that people love to hate. I killed about 40 rockchucks with them yesterday and HOLY CRAP is the xc more violent at 300yds than the 20 practical.
